Goulden to lead Lions

|

BARLA Lions Manager Neil Baxter has announced that Tommy Goulden will lead the Lions on their busy summer schedule, with experienced Wath Brow forward Paul Davidson as vice-captain

Goulden was recently voted man of the match in Leigh Miners Rangers narrow 14-12 Powergen Challenge Cup defeat against professional side Sheffield Eagles, and Baxter is sure that he is the right man for the job.

Baxter said, "Tommy has proved that he is more than capable of doing the job and was captain of the team that beat the full French international side last autumn. He has all the right attributes and more importantly he has the respect of the players."

He added, "Paul deserves the honour of being vice-captain. He has been outstanding for the Lions and is a forward with vast experience."

The Lions are taking part in the Victory Cup in May, and then just a month later will be making the long trip "down under" to take on the Australian Aboriginals in a proposed seven game tour, culminating in a two match test series
